Taiwan elections 2024: Polls close as voters pick president, MPs
#taiwan
#Taiwan, a developed country
Inequality of incomes and personal wealth remains high, as it does in most #capitalist economies. The highest-earning 20% get over six times the income of lowest earning 20%. The top 1% of wealth holders have 25% of all #wealth and the top 1% of income holders get 20% of all income.
Huge #property speculation has led to home prices jumping 50% in the last five years and accelerating, making it impossible for young Taiwanese to find decent accommodation.
The threat of an ‘invasion by China’ is probably the least of the worries of Taiwanese voters, despite the media barrage from the West and from Taiwan’s politicians.

Queerer Kultroman von Qiu Miaojin: Meine Seele will ewiglich lieben
The US kept the Republic of China afloat against the People’s Republic of China, and after #Taiwan could “stand on its own feet,” the #US continued to support the island because the Washington elite considers it an unsinkable aircraft carrier in East Asia, just as #Israel is in West Asia. An autonomous Taiwan is a link in the Pacific first island chain that is of crucial strategic military importance to the US, a pillar of US hegemony, and a loyal and good customer of its arms industry.

A Taiwanese man told me that it's not easy to vote this time because green is corrupted - blue and white suck.
I'm glad I'm not eligible to vote. That way, I can avoid the dilemma of not knowing how or whether to vote.
